TJM Posted January 6, 2016 Share Posted January 6, 2016 Hey, what's up everybody? Just got a 2010 LGT 2.5 Limited, and loving it. I was just wondering what a good exhaust setup would be, everything is stock, and I'm looking to personalize my baby. Thanks!

Scooby Fan Posted January 6, 2016 Share Posted January 6, 2016 Welcome to the forum...nice lookin' drive......... I am driving a 3.6R so I will leave it to the GT guys to give advice on exhausts..... I had an AVO full CBE on my '06 LGT....loved it, but they are expensive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BBPeik Posted January 6, 2016 Share Posted January 6, 2016 Welcome Very nice car. I have been a member of many forums and this is by far the best. You will find lots of help and lots of enabling here. Both good things imo. My someday I will be done with it thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FLlegacy Posted January 6, 2016 Share Posted January 6, 2016 Welcome to the forum and the exclusive 5th gen gt club! First, how much do you want to spend? Second, what do you want from your exhaust? Wake the neighborhood noise or moderate noise? Bling or subtle but noticeable? Me personally, I don't want to warn anyone I am coming so my exhaust is all stock. If I ever decide to go with a down pipe I will most likely leave the stock axleback, but probably go with some nice aftermarket tips. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TJM Posted January 6, 2016 Author Share Posted January 6, 2016 Def don't want to wake anyone, but a nice and noticeable rumble would be ideal. Yeah, I've been scrolling through the threads and everyone seems to be very helpful! I'd like to spend less than $800. Titanium tips, and catback set ups were up my ally. But, I'm really new to aftermarket products, so all your help is extremely beneficial. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jackal8788 Posted January 6, 2016 Share Posted January 6, 2016 Welcome! Borla is probably one of the quieter CBE setups (I've got it on my car) and you can pick up a new set for about $450 right though Borla and maybe find it even less elsewhere. If you end up doing a full TBE, I would recommend a catted downpipe though (ask me how I know this.....)

blklgt05 Posted January 6, 2016 Share Posted January 6, 2016 Invidia or AVO 3" catted TBE with COBB AP. If you just bought a car and you are already gonna do exhaust, just do it right the first time so we can better enable you...ASSIST, assist you to increase the enjoyment of driving your legacy. mod journal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
islandborn Posted January 6, 2016 Share Posted January 6, 2016 Welcome to quite a unique group here. Suggestion? Save the moola to an exhaust and buy an AP (if you haven't done this) first. An exhaust really doesn't do much for our cars right off the bat outside maybe playing with the sound.... unless thats your goal. I chose the Invidia 300 CBE for the sound - muffled yet bold. Not loud. As you will find out the others here made me :lol: buy a DP - Which I went with the AVO one (http://www.avoturboworld.com/catalog/product_info.php/products_id/265) but had to get a midpipe fabricated to connect the two. You can buy the whole TBE from either company though... I'd grab a beer and sit down and hunt thru a bunch of the build threads... Some of us on here have done some serious testing/evaluating/searching/failing/discovering and can save you some time but help spend your money. Good luck!

Unsp0kn Posted January 6, 2016 Share Posted January 6, 2016 Welcome aboard, prepare to be enabled. The first big mod I did to my LGT was a custom exhaust, AP came a little later as I was happy with the power for a little while. Having a stage 2 WRX before definitely fast tracked the AP purchase though, I knew there was more at the ready to be easily used. Spend some time searching around, you should be able to find all kinds of info on worth-while mods and about what you can expect to pay for your goals. Now post up some pics!

Zee199969 Posted January 6, 2016 Share Posted January 6, 2016 Welcome to the forum! Congrats on the new purchase as well. If you want some more grunt to the exhaust sound, get some axlebacks and call it a day. I'd suggest getting a suspension upgrade, shifter mods and an AP My "Build" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
acumenhokie Posted January 6, 2016 Share Posted January 6, 2016 I'd like to spend less than $800. Any exhaust you're going to buy is going to need an AP to tune for it so there goes $650 of your $800 exhaust budget. Go with just the AP now and then save another $800 for that exhaust you want in a few months (or weeks ). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TJM Posted January 6, 2016 Author Share Posted January 6, 2016 What AP do you guys really like? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zee199969 Posted January 6, 2016 Share Posted January 6, 2016 Ive got the version 2 AccessPort. It doesnt have all the frills of the V3 but it can be had for half the price. My "Build" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FLlegacy Posted January 6, 2016 Share Posted January 6, 2016 Yeah the v2 is cheaper but you never know when cobb may stop supporting it. The v3 is their new baby. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I337 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wrxwhit Posted January 7, 2016 Share Posted January 7, 2016 Welcome! How can we help you spend your money? Two best first mods are Accessport (V2 or V3) and of course, bigger rear sway bar, depending on your wants and needs. Enjoy your new ride and don't resist the want, it's inevitable Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FLlegacy Posted January 7, 2016 Share Posted January 7, 2016 Those were my only mods for quite some time, even now the list is short and incomplete lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TJM Posted January 7, 2016 Author Share Posted January 7, 2016 Okay, I'm checking them out now. V3 would be my best bet right, and what's a reasonable price for it. The one I'm looking at is $650. There are also a couple upgrades that COBB recommends to purchase for stage 1 (Subaru SF Intake System, Subaru SF Airbox) all for $950 Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sarang Posted January 7, 2016 Share Posted January 7, 2016 That intake is not for our cars. My understanding is that the stock intake is fine unless you upgrade the turbo. Even just an AP with a stage 1 tune will make it a very different car. Some of the other vendors will give you package deals on the AP if you order other stuff at the same time. A while ago I saw Nameless Performance doing that with exhaust pieces. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FLlegacy Posted January 7, 2016 Share Posted January 7, 2016 I agree with supporting vendors, but I personally dropped about $500 for my ap v3 on ebay barely used and only a few months after it had been released. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TJM Posted January 7, 2016 Author Share Posted January 7, 2016 Awesome, I will make moves to get the AP V3 first. Thanks for the help guys. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ellesedil Posted January 7, 2016 Share Posted January 7, 2016 If it's used, make sure they unmarried it. Otherwise it will be an expensive paperweight and you'll need to go through Cobb to force the AP to be unmarried. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
